Directions
Melt some ice cream, then mix it with flour and baking powder right in a microwave-safe mug. Once that’s combined, stir in the cocoa powder until everything is well blended. Pop the mug in the microwave and cook it for about 90 seconds, or until the top looks set and cake-like. When it’s done, let it cool for a minute or two before adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy your quick and tasty treat!
What To Serve With This Dish
Serve with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a sprinkle of crushed nuts on top for added texture. Fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream also pair nicely and add a touch of freshness. Enjoy it warm to get the best contrast with the cold ice cream.
Leftover Storage Guide
This dessert is best enjoyed immediately, as the ice cream will melt quickly. If you make extra, store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer and reheat briefly before serving. Avoid microwaving for too long to prevent the dessert from becoming rubbery.
